Ben isn’t the only one getting a pointed song sung directly to them. Chip Black is the one who chooses to start the sad karaoke night with it, and he’s singing it to Alex Levy. He’s at the party to show Bradley footage of interviews with victims of Wolf River, including some very sick children – a decidedly unpleasant backdrop. It’s strange they’d choose to watch such disturbing material for their story, especially footage that paints UBN in a terrible light regarding the deaths of those children. They aren’t even watching it in Bradley’s dressing room! Despite all this, Chip smoothly transitions from earnestly encouraging Bradley to continue the story despite FBI pressure, reminding her of the trust she inspires, to just as earnestly calling Alex an “executive reptile.” Chip has had several memorable moments on The Morning Show – like punching Mitch Kessler and his passionate outburst last season – but “executive reptiles” might be the most delightfully bizarre.
